The Spanish LaLiga wants to request “the revocation of (Kylian) Mbappé’s contract” and intends to bring Paris Saint-Germain before the European authorities, assured this Friday his lawyer in France, Juan Branco.
“The “entry point” of “graded” procedures against PSG is “the legality of Mbappé’s contract,” explained the lawyer at a press conference.
“The LFP (French Professional Football League) should never have approved this contract. The DNCG (National Directorate of Management Control – within the LFP is responsible for supervising the accounts of professional football clubs in France) tIt would have to have confirmed PSG’s infringement of the rules of financial fair-play on a national and European level,” added Branco.
The lawyer plans to request “the revocation of Mbappé’s contract from the French Minister of Sports”, and then eventually present an “appeal to the LFP to contact the DNCG for an opportunity control” of the PSG accounts.
Lastly, if the previous initiatives do not yield any results, he stated that he would appeal to the Paris administrative court.
In case of lack of results to your interests, the lawyer stated that he would go “to the European Commission to ask it to intervene to harmonize the regulations”, or initiate “a formal procedure later for abuse of a dominant position” to finally, at the end of the process, go to the European Court of Justice.
“It is clear to everyone that PSG acts outside the rules, even through fraudulent maneuvers”, estimated the lawyer, recalling that LaLiga had also attacked Manchester City before UEFA, another European club owned by a State, the United Arab Emirates, when PSG is owned by Qatar.
He explained that what was driving these demands was LaLiga’s desire to ‘redefine the rules for a more virtuous ecosystem’.
LaLiga accuses PSG of “Continued violating the current Fair Play regulations Financial” established by UEFA and of unbalancing sporting and economic competition.
The person in charge of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is one of the most virulent critics of state-backed clubs.
